I thought that it might be a good idea to not just play a ton of Stooges, which would sound great of course but would in a way, not cover the subject all that well. I thought it would be a good idea to put Scott's considerable talent in and amongst other great drummers and in that way, celebrate the man and the music.

If you look below, it is a serious grouping of forces. If you have not dug into Sonic's Rendezvous Band beyond what we have listened on this show, I encourage you to do so. A bit about the band is written in the LA Weekly thing pasted above. That is a band to check out. Tonight, we start and end the show with the song "City Slang", featuring Fred "Sonic" Smith and Scott "Rock Action" Asheton.

It's a big loss but we are damn lucky to have all those good records to listen to. In spite of the less-than-happy event that inspired tonight's play list, at least we can rock hard in the memory of Scott.

You Might Want To Tune In For This Dept.: Next week, the 30th, our in-studio guest will be Buzz from The Melvins. Buzz will be bringing in the music, just like we did with John Dwyer a few weeks ago. It's going to be live and it's going to be great. I can't wait to hear what he brings in. He is really stoked to do it and is assembling his tunes now. This is such a great reason to have a radio show, so we can do cool stuff like this.
